Yes, it's true, most hardened-sf3 games are uncracked and will probably remain like that.
Yes, it's true, secu 7 is far from the old 'crappy' secu 5.
Yes, it's true, sd4 combined with certain custom stuff is also far from easy or crappy.
That's life, one day u crack and then one day u don't anymore, no need to create new thread everytime someone thinks a protection might be defeated as it makes some kids nervous  and things will only get worse soon.

- From now one, everything regarding the Starforce protection goes here. Discussion about the protection in other threads will not be tolerated.

The new version of Starforce (version 3.4.070 and up) cant be mini-imaged or circumvented by mounting the full image. This new version of Starforce can however be cloned the following way.
1. Make an image of the DVD using the newest version (released this march) of Alcohol. Make sure you are reading DPM at a slow speed.
2. Now you have an image containing the physical structure of the DVD. Burn this image enabling RMPS at 4x speed.
3. Activate RMPS using the options in Alcohol or DT. Deactivate all ide/atapi cd/dvd-drives if you got any. Put the game in a non-ide drive (SCSI, RAID, USB, Firewire) and play the game.
With a small investment you can turn your existing ide-drives into non-ide-drives. Buy a PCI Raid Controller (for example: http://www.bbt-shop.de/index.php?modul=detail&artnr=2017&kat=8805000 ) and use it in RAID-Mode. Now all your ide-drives have become non-ide-drives.
This method has already been confirmed working for Silent Hunter 3 which uses the newest version of Starforce. It should also work for all other titles protected with Starforce released at this moment. It has now been confirmed on some forums that also DTM 2, Obscure and Colin McRae Rally 2005 have been cloned succesfully this way. It seems that Starforce isnt really able to attack SCSI, RAID, USB and Firewire yet. For almost 18 months they have tried to close this hole in Starforce, but even their NewAtapi technology and isoprotection code isnt able to beat this method. As more and more people are using SCSI, RAID, USB and Firewire-drives it shouldnt be an excuse for clone-groups not to release clones of starforce-protected games because this method is hardware-dependant. By the way which clone-release isnt really hardware-dependant?
Update: the best way is to use USB 2.0 DVD drives according to some people who have cloned DVD games protected with starforce succesfully, because Starforce seems to have blacklisted RMPS through SCSI and RAID. But according to Venom386 (DAEMON Tools Developer) this blacklist should be fixed in the next update of DT. And it has now been confirmed that Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory clone-dvd works by using an USB 2.0 DVD drive.

Thxs Reloaded for crack.

kill switch : starforce3 version : 3.33.3.8
codename panzer : starforce3 version : 3.36.01
kill switch have a older version of starforce 
btw . i dont know is toca 2 release only on dvd or not , a dvd and starforce is a number to big and still uncrackable . look to the german cracker groups . german starforce games on cd , they can cracked ( syberia 2 , panzer ) a starforce games on dvd still uncrackable ( dtm2 = toca 2 , obscure ) |
No i thinks "Pac-man World 2"
Starforce3 version: 3.33.3.8
is identical version "Kill Switch" |
The funny part is, is that to have these "uncrackable" games means running the risk of fuckin ur cpu up when u install the protected game....
Not to mention that the 40 year old guys at sf, the coders, prolly dont care all to much...we, the younger generation, are the ones who care cuz to be honest...I should really be able to make a backup of shit I own, dvd/cd whatever...what if i bought an sf protected game and the cd got ruined, is the company going to send me a replacement for free? fuck no....

lol a lil bit of sour grapes
it messes with config of graphic drivers, cd/dvd drives etc...thats according to the company
not on all cpus mind u, but it all depends on ur config
why bother buying a 50 dollar game, if its not 100% working out of the box ie i have to patch, uninstall/install other apps because they conflict with the game etc
And not to mention that because some of the Sf drivers are uninstalled even when using the company's removal tool, that fucks up ur disc drive...mnd u i dont have any tech specs on the issues, but this is according to software reviews and the actual SF company...stuff ive read in the past few weeks.

Is this a way to finally get rid of starforce,
I found this StarForce Nightmare v1.01 (145KB) allows you to disable CD/DVD drivers.
This might help speed the release of SCCT.

I have a question, why can one SF3 game be cracked in a quick fashion and another take so long? Can the game devs choose a level or something of protection? Ie say one game, u need to crack exe and 1 dll where as one game u might have to crack a whole folder of files? This how it works?

because some games contain Starforce virtual machine and some not. Pretty often Reloaded receives exes from beta/review/unprotected and that's why they release it before official date. But there are games they just don't know how to crack like Toca2, Obscure, Colin 2005 (late Ultima release), Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.
| Quote: | | Can the game devs choose a level or something of protection |
yeah, in every protection you can choose the level of its strenght (visit Safedisc, Starforce, Securom websites).
| Quote: | | one game, u need to crack exe and 1 dll where as one game u might have to crack a whole folder of files? This how it works? |
maybe, but I think the secret is in Starforce virtual machine. Notice that no group claimed to be able to crack Starforce virtual machine in their NFO (except Xpand Rally by Ultima). If Reloaded would have been able to do it then they would release all StarForce games, not chosen only.

Hmm...
then whom are we waiting for? I mean who will become The Saviour?
Ultima? OK, they will crack one, two, three next starforce games. What next? WHO next? They already said "we are not a scene team" and "don't rely on us with each starforce title" - I see clear message here.
Why they did not reveal starforce secrets to other groups? What is the problem? If they are not interested in cracking uncracked then why not to teach others and share valuable knowledge?

ask Ultima
| Quote: | | probably they can get these beta's or maybe extract the needed files from the patches |
the betas I was talking about are not the public ones you showed. Unprotected (poorly protected) betas are in hands of reviewers, localizators. The betas you showed probably contain Starforce VM already because Hoodlum/Reloaded would have already release it.
